Best of ‘The Political Carnival’

(Another interesting week for the Laffy and Paddy at The Political Carnival.net. Michele Bachmann’s ethically challenged husband, Sarah and Bristol Palin’s book signing flop and trouble in paradise (aka his home state) for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Enjoy! -Ed.)

If she and her husband can’t adhere to such a simple rule, and if Candidate Michele can’tcomprehend basic facts and/or rules in general, it’s a safe bet to state unequivocally, right here and right now, that she is unqualified to hold the office of president, or vice president… or any other public office, for that matter.

Maybe she thought she had some star power. And Wednesday’s rules stipulated that no one got Sarah Palin’s autograph unless they bought Bristol’s book.

Savvy. But by the time the Palins took the stage, one estimate put the number of autograph seekers at about 300 people, all lined up to be wanded and watched over by a phalanx of Bloominton cops before getting to the Palins’ table.

It keeps getting worse and worse for Pudgy Jeebus, so much so that by the end of his term he’s going to have to take a military convoy out…

A new Bloomberg New Jersey poll finds 51% of New Jersey residents say they wouldn’t back Gov. Chris Christie for a second term, “disapproving of his choices on a range of policy and personal issues, from killing a commuter tunnel to using a state-police helicopter to attend his son’s baseball game.”

Said pollster Ann Selzer: “It just feels as though Christie misread the public on education or believed that he had to go that far in cutting the budget. Even if it’s the latter, he didn’t rhetorically sell it to his audience properly. They’re not with him.”

GottaLaff/Laffy lives in California and is the editor of The Politial Carnival. She’s a UCLA grad and takes pride in her vast experience bellowing catcalls at what passes for TV news. Her career includes teaching theatre at a performing arts high school; TV, stage, improv/stand-up; directing, writing, you name it. You might even catch her on the radio with Lizz Winstead, Nicole Sandler, John Fugelsang, Shane-O, Angie Coiro, or anyone who will have her. Laffy’s posts tend to go for the lighter–okay, demented–side, suitable for pointing and laughing. She also produces Blunt videos: http://thepoliticalcarnival.net/blunt/
